Its rammed earth platform is more than 3 meters high according to archaeological measurements, 75.9 meters long from east to west, and 42.3 meters wide from north to south. There is a dragon's tail road on the left and right sides, forming slope steps from the ground to the main hall. Hanyuan Temple was the place where the "Outer Dynasty" was held, and it was also the most magnificent building in Chang'an City at that time. Very spectacular. Standing in front of Hanyuan Temple, Zhongnan Mountain is clearly visible and Chang'an Street is in sight. Although there are no buildings on the ground now, standing on the ruins of its palace, you can still experience the scene of climbing up and looking far away that day. The Zhengxuan Hall behind the Hanyuan Hall is where the emperor held the "Chinese Dynasty", and the Chenzi Hall behind it is where the "Chinese Dynasty" was held. The Yan Ying Hall northwest of Chen Zi Hall was the place where the emperor summoned the prime ministers to discuss political affairs. It was formed in the "Yanying Zhaoyou" system and played an increasingly important role in the political life of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The famous Linde Temple complex was built in Linde, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (664-666). The front, middle and back halls are connected. The middle hall is the main hall, surrounded by cloisters. It is symmetrical with Dongting, West Pavilion, Yuyi and adjacent buildings, creating a new style of ancient Chinese architectural art. Archaeological measurements show that the temple base is 70 meters wide from east to west. Yumi, 130 meters long from north to south, is very large. This is where the emperor summoned foreign envoys and held grand banquets. In addition to the main buildings mentioned above, the main halls in the Daming Palace include Penglai Hall, Hanliang Hall, and Xuanwu Hall. On the east and west sides are Zhu Jing Hall, Qingsi Hall, Taihe Hall, Lingqi Hall, Bathing Hall, Xuanhui Hall, and Zizi Hall. Lan Palace, Hanbing Palace, Cheng Xiang Palace, Dafu Palace, Huiqing Palace and Jinluan Palace. Because Daming Palace is located to the east of Taiji Palace, it is also called Dongnei. There is also Taiye Pool in the Daming Palace, located on the central axis, in the middle of the north of Hanliang Hall and south of Xuanwu Hall. It is a large royal garden pool in Chang'an City. In recent years, the archaeological team has excavated the ruins on the south bank of Taiye Pool, covering an area of ??more than 2,800 square meters, and revealed the pool ruins in the middle of the south bank. The bank slopes are steep and uneven, and the coastline is curved. There are railings, water corridors and water pavilions on the shore of the pool, which initially reveals to the world the grandeur of the corridors, pavilions and vast waters surrounding Taiye Pool. At present, the true appearance of Daming Palace is not fully understood. I believe that with the development of archeology, more mysteries will continue to be revealed, and it will not take long to fully understand the entire Daming Palace. Like other emperors, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty also built many farewell halls around Chang'an and Luoyang. These palaces vary in size. Some are rebuilt on the basis of the previous palaces, some are expanded on the basis of the Li family's old residence, and of course there are also new ones. The details are as follows: > Longyue Palace is located in Liguan Village in the west of Gaoling County, Shaanxi Province. This is the former residence of Li Yuan's father, Li Yuan, and it is also the birthplace of Li Yuan, so Li Yuan changed its name to the palace in the sixth year of Wude (623). In the seventh or eighth year of Wude, Li Yuan visited Longyue Palace twice. Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty changed it to the Xiuzhen Temple to enshrine the true face of the great ancestor, which was abandoned during the Later Liang Dynasty. Qingshan Palace is located on the bank of the Wei River 18 miles south of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province. Due to the erosion of the Wei River, it has long been washed into a river bed. According to records in Chang'an Chronicle, Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had three residences in Wugong. Only Qingshan Palace was the former residence of Emperor Gaozu and the birthplace of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it was called Wugong Palace in the first year of Wude (618). In the sixth year, it was renamed Qingshan Palace. The other two were converted into Buddhist temples, namely Benchen Temple and Baoyi Temple. In the seventh year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu visited Qingshan Palace and stayed there for six days. After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, in the sixth year of Zhenguan (632 years), he led hundreds of civil and military officials to Qingshan Palace and held a large banquet to entertain ministers and the elderly. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty composed an impromptu poem, ordered Lang Lucai to compose a piece of music, and named it "Celebrating Happy After Success", and ordered sixty-four boys to dance to praise Emperor Taizong's merits. Since then, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty inspected Qingshan Palace many times and expanded it. Later, in memory of his mother, Li Shimin changed Qingshan Palace into Cide Temple. The specific time is unknown. Yitong Palace was located in Yitong Square to the west of Zhuque West Street in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. This was Li Yuan's former residence in Chang'an, and was renamed Yitong Palace in the sixth year of Wude (623). In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter to renovate the temple. Jiucheng Palace is located in Xincheng District, Linyou County, Shaanxi Province. According to records, Jiucheng Palace in the Tang Dynasty was originally the Renshou Palace of the Sui Dynasty. It was built in the 13th year of Emperor Wen (593) and was supervised by Prime Minister Su Yang. Because Renshou Palace is located in a mountainous area, the roads are rugged and the project is huge. Thousands of migrant workers died from exhaustion. Therefore, Emperor Wen was very angry, but because he loved this palace very much, Emperor Wen did not punish Su Yang, but rewarded him with a lot of money.Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was quickly conquered by the gorgeous architecture and beautiful scenery of Renshou Palace, and changed the title of "Huang Kai" to "Renshou". In the second year of Renshou (602), Queen Dugu died first in Renshou Palace. In the fourth year of Renshou, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty also died in Renshou Palace. At the beginning of the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty became ill due to overwork due to the war between the north and the south. His ministers suggested building this separate palace to escape the summer heat. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty decided to carry out renovations based on the Renshou Palace of the Sui Dynasty and renamed it Jiucheng Palace. From the sixth year of Zhenguan (632) to the eighteenth year (644), Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat five times. The natural beauty of this royal garden and the ingenious design of man-made buildings attracted many literati and poets of the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu and Li Shangyin both visited Jiucheng Palace and left many poems. The painter Li Sixun of the Tang Dynasty once painted a fan picture of Jiucheng Palace, and his son Li Zhaodao also painted a picture of Jiucheng Palace. As for the inscription on Liquan in Jiucheng Palace, it is even more famous at home and abroad. It is the representative work of Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, and is known as the regular script school. Therefore, Jiucheng Palace had a great influence at that time and in later generations. In the second year of Yonghui's reign (651), Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Wannian Palace. In the second year of Qianxi (667), the old name was restored. gt; Yuhua Palace is located among the hills in the north of Yuhua Village, Jinsuo Township, north of Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province, about 40 kilometers south of Tongchuan City. It was built in the seventh year of Wude (624), the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, and was named Renzhi Palace at that time. Since Renzhi Palace is a resort integrating summer escape, leisure and hunting, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the construction of Yuhua Palace in the 21st year of Zhenguan (647), with the former Renzhi Palace in Fenghuang Valley as the main body, and the Lanzhi Valley in the northwest and the The Coral Valley in the northeast is connected into a large palace with exquisite stone bridges and corridors. There are six palaces with well-documented names, including Yuhua Hall (main hall), Paiyun Hall in the north, Qingyun Hall in the north, Qingfu Hall, Huihe Hall (the palace where the prince lives), and Sucheng Hall. (Later changed to Su Chengyuan). There is also a guild hall in Coral Valley northeast of Phoenix Valley. In the entire east and west valleys of Yuhua Mountain, there are nine majestic palaces and five tall and gorgeous palace gates with bridges and corridors in the middle, called Yuhua Palace. Because the summer vacation here is better than Jiucheng Palace and it is also close to Chang'an, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty often used this place as his best choice for summer vacation in his later years. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty believed in Buddhism and converted Yuhua Palace into a temple in the second year of Yonghui (651). In 659, the famous monk asked for a quiet place to translate Buddhist scriptures, and Emperor Gaozong invited him to live in Yuhua Temple and be responsible for the translation work. With the arrival of monk Xuanzang, Yuhua Temple truly became a Buddhist holy place. According to archaeological discoveries and research results in recent years, the place where monk Xuanzang translated scriptures was the main hall of the old Yuhua Palace - Yuhua Hall. It is surrounded by pine trees and very quiet. Monk Xuanzang of Yuhua Temple began to translate the Prajna Sutra, a collection of 200,000 hymns, on the first day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of the Xianqing Dynasty (660), and completed it on the 23rd of the winter lunar month in the third year of the Longshuo (663). Three years. Soon, Xuanzang died of illness in Yuhua Palace, and then the monks left one after another. Since then, Yuhua Palace has been deserted. gt; Cuiweigong is located in Huangyusi Village, Chang'an District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, deep in the Qinling Mountains. Cuiwei Palace, formerly known as Taihe Palace, was built in the eighth year of Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty (625). In the 21st year of Zhenguan (647), Taizong rebuilt Taihe Palace and renamed it Cuiwei Palace. The Yuanhe Palace of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty was abandoned as a temple. It was renamed Yongqing Temple in the third year of the Taiping Xingguo reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (978) and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, apart from ruins and crumbling towers, there is no trace of the above-ground buildings. Cuiwei Palace is located at an altitude of 1,300 meters, 900 meters higher than Xi'an. Coupled with the influence of vegetation, topography and seasons, the average annual temperature here is about 6℃ lower than that in Xi'an. This is the fundamental reason why Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong built the Summer Palace here. There is no way to verify the palace architecture of Cuiwei Palace. Only the names of Cuiwei Palace and Hanfeng Palace are known. In the last three years of Tang Taizong's life, he spent two summers in Cuiwei Palace and finally died here. As mentioned before, Emperor Xianzong Yuanhe of the Tang Dynasty converted Cuiwei Palace into a Buddhist temple. Some scholars believe that the time of the temple conversion should be during the late Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty or during the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty. Huaqing Palace is located at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong District, 30 kilometers east of west Shaanxi Province. Huaqing Palace was named after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, but it has a long history as the emperor's palace. It was used as a tourist attraction as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. The palace and pavilion construction centered on the hot spring bath began during his reign.
If the construction of the palace initially laid the foundation for the separation of the royal family from the palace, then the large-scale expansion at that time made it one of the most important separations from the palace in eastern Chang'an. Since then, successive dynasties have built here, thus bringing the utilization of Lishan Hot Spring to a new stage. In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan (644), Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wrote to Yan Lide to build Lishan Palace and named it Tangquan Palace. In the third year of Emperor Xianheng's reign (672), it was renamed Hot Spring Palace. In the sixth year of Tang Xuanzong's stay in Tianbao (747), it was officially named Huaqing Palace, which means "the hot springs are surging, the waves are rolling, and Huaqing evil is difficult to grow old." The soup pool in the palace is also called Huaqing Pool, and its name is still used today. The Huaqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty made full use of the local terrain to turn it into a huge palace complex with rigorous structure and magnificent momentum. The main temples and houses are centered on the hot springs, all arranged on the alluvial fans in front of the mountains, forming the core of Huaqing Palace. Then it spreads to the bottom of the mountain and down the mountain, taking advantage of the characteristics of the imperial concubine hall site in Qingchi, to arrange pavilions of different types and uses. The mountain is full of green pines and cypresses, and at the foot of the mountain there are Lanzhi Valley, Lychee Garden, Hibiscus Garden, Liyuan Garden, Pepper Garden and Dongyuan Garden, all of which are full of vitality. Buildings are lined up against mountains and rivers, surrounding the city of Hérault. The main buildings include left and right Hongwen Pavilion, left and right Tangchao, left and right Wujiang Hall, back hall, front hall, Ursa Major Eta, Feishuang Hall, Changsheng Hall, Jade Girl Hall, Seven Halls, Gongde Academy, Yuzhang, and Tan Yao. Feishuang Hall is where Xuanzong stayed, and to the south is Yutang Jiulong Hall. Jiulong Tang is also called Lotus Tang. To the northwest of Lotus Tang is Yu Tang, also called Begonia Tang. The soup pool is made of stone and looks like a blooming crabapple flower. Yang Guifei bathed here for a long time, and later generations simply called it the Concubine Pool. Xuanzong visited Huaqing Palace for auspiciousness almost every October and returned to Chang'an at the end of the year. In the forty-one years from the second year of Kaiyuan (714) to the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), he went to Huaqing Palace more than thirty times, even twice a year. Therefore, it can be said that the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous period of Huaqing Palace. After the Anshi Rebellion, due to the unstable political situation, the emperor visited occasionally, but the frequency was very limited, and Huaqing Palace gradually became quiet. However, Huaqing Palace lost its former prosperity, and the temple was not repaired in time. Not only that, man-made destruction is inevitable. For example, in the reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, the great eunuch Yu Chaoen demolished the pavilions and pavilions of the Huaqing Palace in order to build the Zhangjing Temple. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, it was changed to Lingquan Temple and given to Taoist priests. We arrived and the village was in ruins. It was repaired to a certain extent during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the current Huaqing Pool basically retains the basic layout of the early Qing Dynasty. gt; Fengtian Palace was built in the first year of Yongchun (682) of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. It is located in the south of the Northern Song Mountain in Songyang County, and there is no way to verify it. After its completion, Emperor Gaozong lived here twice. In December of the first year of Hongdao (683), Emperor Gaozong died and Fengtian Palace was abolished. The following year, in February of the first year of civilization (684), it was changed to Songyang Temple. The Sanyang Palace was built in Songyang County in November of the third year of the Gregorian calendar (700). There is a temple located in the stone mountain in Gaocheng Town, southeast of Dengfeng City, Henan Province. Wu Zetian lived here several times and visited Shishan with ministers. There are two cliff stone carvings with poems engraved on the boulders on both sides of the Shicong River, which record the grand poetry banquet at that time. This is the only remaining relic of Sanyang Palace. In the first month of the fourth year of Chang'an (704), Sanyang Palace was destroyed, and its wood was used to build Xingtai Palace. Xingtai Palace is located on Wan'an Mountain, 40 miles southwest of Shou'an County, Luozhou. Its ruins still exist in Zhaobao Village, Xibao Township, Yiyang County, Henan Province. Xingtai Palace was built in the fourth year of Chang'an and still existed until the late Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once lived here. Xiangcheng Palace was built in the 14th year of Zhenguan (640) of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It is located in Gaoming Mountain, Linru County, Ruzhou, but its ruins have not yet been discovered. In March of the following year after the palace was completed, Taizong had the honor to be here. Because the palace was hot and there were many venomous snakes in the area, Emperor Taizong ordered the palace to be abandoned. Therefore, Xiangcheng Palace only existed for half a year. In addition, in Chang'an and Luoyang, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty built many palaces, such as Qiongyue Palace and Jincheng Palace in Huayin, Shentai Palace in Zheng County, Shaanxi Palace, Mianchi Palace, Fuchang Palace in Fuchang Palaces, Qixian Palace and Lanfeng Palace in Yongning, I won’t go into details one by one.
